"Bang!"

Jiang Muyi slammed his fist on the dining table, glaring at Jiang Yuyan through gritted teeth.

"You—why are you still keeping that shrew around? You should have stood up to her the first time she insulted you, and flipped the table when she asked you to do chores, you idiot!"

Jiang Yuyan wasn't angry at his harsh words; instead, she felt a warmth in her heart.

"Second brother, if I did that, it would probably just give her an excuse to get rid of me. I won't make a fuss. Anyway, I don't recognize anyone else in that family except for Brother Lin."

"That's more like it. Humph, if I run into that family again, tell me, and I'll curse them to death. Especially that Jiang—Lin Yue, who stole our money, what an ingrate."

Jiang Yuyan nodded obediently, "Second Brother, we've scolded him enough, isn't it time to eat? We're so hungry!"

Jiang Muyi: "....."

He glanced at his family members, who didn't even dare to pick up their chopsticks, and his ears turned red for once. He coughed, quickly picked up his chopsticks, and started eating rice in big mouthfuls without saying a word.

Seeing that he had finally started eating, the Jiang family members exchanged a secret glance, a smile flashing in their eyes.

While they were eating, Jiang's mother suddenly brought up what she had heard that day.

"Uh, I heard today that Old Mrs. Jiang fainted on the roadside. If someone hadn't passed by, found her, and taken her to the clinic in time, she probably would have been in serious trouble."

As she spoke, Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang's father, who was eating quietly, and said, "Ahem, the captain means that someone might need to take care of her."

Jiang Muyi gloated, "Serves him right. He's done too many bad things and brought this upon himself. What does it have to do with us? We've already cut ties with him anyway."

Jiang Yuyan looked at her father and then at her mother, who seemed hesitant to speak, knowing that her mother was worried about her father's soft heart.

"Mother, although we have severed ties with the Jiang family, we are by no means heartless people. Even if we can no longer be relatives, we still want to help Grandma Jiang call her family back to take care of her."

Jiang's mother and father: "..."

Jiang Muyi: "..." As expected of my sister, her mouth is so sharp.

Jiang Muren's eyes widened. "It seems like this is possible? That's easy. We can go to town right now and call Uncle's family back."

"Uh, wait, where's Third Aunt? Third Uncle was arrested, shouldn't Third Aunt be at Old Jiang's house?"

Jiang's mother was speechless, looking at her third son as if he were a fool. "Don't you know that when your third son was arrested, she was taken away too? Have you lost your mind?"

Jiang Muren remembered, and chuckled awkwardly, "Well—I forgot, didn't I?"

Jiang Yuyan ate quietly, keeping her achievements and fame hidden.

The Jiang family wants to leave Old Lady Jiang in their care, but they'll have to see if the Jiang family is willing.

The Jiang family kept their word. Jiang Muyi and Jiang Yuyan went to the clinic and took Grandma Jiang to Uncle Jiang's house so that they could take care of her nearby.

As soon as Jiang Yuyan arrived at the clinic, she heard Old Lady Jiang's shrill cursing voice inside. Her voice was very loud, and she seemed to be fine for the time being.

"...Quickly call Jiang Gou Dan here. That heartless ingrate! I've raised their family for so many years, and now he's even betraying his own brother. Oh, my heart is breaking!"

The people in the clinic were speechless. They had known Granny Jiang for a long time, and none of the things she said were true.

"Cough cough, I'm dying! Does your clinic even care? I told you to go and bring Jiang Gou Dan and his family to me, cough cough..."

"Grandma Jiang, what brings you to our family? My parents are very busy, and they have no one to help them. They also have work to do in the fields. Unlike your family, you have many people."

Grandma Jiang looked over and saw Jiang Gou Dan's family had just returned. She had only met her "granddaughter" a few times, and her name seemed to be something like Jiang Yan.

"Who do you think you are, you worthless piece of trash? I said I wanted to find Jiang Gou Dan, can't you understand?" Old Granny Jiang's attitude was extremely arrogant.

Jiang Yuyan almost laughed in anger. This old woman didn't seem to understand the situation. Did she think that severing ties between her family and the Jiang family was a joke?

"If I remember correctly, the Jiang family and our family have officially severed ties. I don't know what gives you the right to insult my father here, old lady?"

Old Mrs. Jiang choked, "I'm his biological mother. How can blood ties be severed so easily? As long as I don't acknowledge him, I'll always be Jiang Gou Dan's mother. Humph, what can you do to me?"

Jiang Muyi's eyes turned cold as he stared intently at the old woman.

Jiang Yuyan held his hand, telling him not to act rashly.

"Old Granny Jiang, you're illiterate and don't understand the law. Perhaps you could go and ask the brigade leader yourself. A signed and sealed agreement severing ties—do you think you can just mess around with it? Or do you want to go in with Jiang Laosan for a reunion?"

Old Granny Jiang trembled with rage, pointing at Jiang Yuyan, her fingers shaking, "You...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back, his mouth twisted, and he fainted, his body falling straight backward.

Jiang Muyi grabbed her by the collar, preventing a fatality.

Jiang Yuyan smiled at the captain who had rushed over.

"...That's how it is. So, my second brother and I want to get her to the hospital as soon as possible, so that Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang can take care of her conveniently nearby. I wonder what the team leader thinks?"

Captain: "....."

"Very good. The oxcart is available now, so hurry up and drop off the people and come back."

After saying that, the captain quickly slipped away.

Let whoever wants to deal with these messy affairs of the Jiang family do what they want; he's incapable of taking them on anyway, and he's afraid he'll get himself sick from anger.

Jiang Yuyan called out to him, "Captain, it's just that we ran into you. We want to take my older brother to a major hospital in Beijing for treatment. Could you please issue a certificate for the four of us siblings? Thank you."

"Oh, this is great news. We've watched Mu Xuan grow up. We were so happy when he got into university, but now—it's good that he can be saved. I'll bring the certificate to your house later."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Captain."

The captain watched their departing figures and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who said other people's daughters are jinxes? Look at Gou Dan's family, they're doing better and better! They even have the money for treatment at a big city hospital. I never thought Gou Dan would enjoy the blessings of his daughter..."

At the entrance of the textile factory.

The gatekeeper stopped the oxcart, waving it away, "Go away, go away! Don't you see where you are? Don't bring a dead person here, it's bad luck!"

Jiang Yuyan: "Uh, no, comrade, the person on this oxcart isn't dead, it's Jiang Guangbao's mother. His mother is sick and collapsed on the ground. We brought her here out of kindness, hoping he could take her to the hospital for a checkup, right?"

"Jiang Guangbao? Oh, there is such a person. You wait here, I'll send someone to call him."

Within five minutes, Jiang Yuyan saw a middle-aged man with a large belly walk over with an impatient look on his face.

Jiang Guangbao looked at the ignorant Jiang Muyi with a tone that seemed to be lecturing a younger generation.

"Mu Yi, what kind of work are you doing? Your grandma fainted and you didn't rush her to the hospital. What's the point of bringing her here?"
